To type math expressions while editing a page or discussion, you will need to use this math equation editor link to do it. It uses a specific computer language called LaTex that the website understands. Otherwise it would be very difficult to post equations/expressions online. Below you will find examples on how to type specific equations/expressions below. Use this page to help you when you get stuck. Make sure you have a separate window open to do the writing of the equation/expression so you can then import it into your document.
Table of basic commands written using LaTex. If you would like other commands, please use the discussion board to ask questions. And hopefully your fellow peers might be able to help you before Ms. Blasioli does!
Each of the following examples below are PICTURE shots of examples. In each picture, the top window shows you the LaTex Math Language one needs to use to get the final equation/expression in the bottom box.
Picture 1: Quadratic formula
Picture 2: Quadratic Equation with gravity, initial velocity, and initial height
Picture 3: Solving an equation in the math editor program
The example below shows how to move to a new line (just type \\ as seen below) and it will show up on the next line!
